Second Great Lesson: The Timeline of Life
Kym Elder, Ed.D, discusses the Great Lessons of Montessori education. The second great lesson is called the Timeline of Life on Earth. It focuses on the explosion of life from the Cambrian period through the Paleozoic, Mesozoic, and Cenozoic Eras to the present day. Kym reviews how this lesson begins as an impressionistic lesson for younger students and introduces more complex scientific concepts for older children as the general content of Earth science, paleontology, and geology are explored in the upper elementary.
The Great Lessons emphasize a storytelling approach to show the interconnection of everything from the universe's beginning to the present as experienced by humans on Earth.
This video series is not just informative, but also designed to be inclusive, catering to the interests of a diverse audience who are curious about Montessori education. We want you to feel welcomed and valued as part of our educational community.

    • @MontessoriLive
      @MontessoriLive Před 7 měsíci

      The numerals can be purchased from Neinhuis or Alison's Montessori. There are two sizes. I like the smaller size for the fractions and the larger size for whole numbers. The cut-out "holes" representing negative numbers are homemade from the craft foam pieces (I think that is what they are called) that can be purchased from a craft store.

    • @MontessoriLive
      @MontessoriLive Před 8 měsíci

      Hi, The colored bead bars with holes are handmade from the colored craft foam you can buy at Michael's or a similar craft store. They are cut so that the holes are the same size as the colored beads to allow the student to place the colored bead bar on top of the holes. The length of the foam piece is the same as the beadier (including the wires so that the holes last, if that makes sense!) Thanks for your question. This material was initially developed by Harvey Hallenberg. I took my elementary training from him in the mid-nineties and have used these materials ever since! I hope that helps.

    What age do you typically introduce the geometric solids. From Dr. Montessori's literature I garhered that I should give them to 12 and 24 month toddlers to get farmiliar with the dynamics of the shapes and learn to trace with their fingers. Is that correct?

    • @MontessoriLive
      @MontessoriLive Před 3 lety

      It is possible to introduce these shapes to toddlers. At the 3-6 level, they are the first lesson in the study of geometry and can be introduced to children who are three years old. They are also used in the lower elementary level. .
